Life news this week:
- Saturday was a weirdly productive day for a day that also felt pretty chill. I prepared a package to go out and walked to the post office to send it. Read a book on the way back. Then I worked on my blog, made a fancy dinner (and a mess), and cleaned up all my mementos that were scattered all over the back room, organizing them into their appropriate boxes and getting them back in the garage. I did a Polo for Meg and practiced some music. Made some logos for samples for the band and packed my bag for the morning.
- Sunday my dad picked me up for band practice. We had a little delay because we were supposed to practice at Music Compound but plans fell through to let us in, so we had to go back to my dad's house and practice in the little music room. We had a good practice though. And since my dad was busy right after practice, he sent me home in an Uber. Once home, I did laundry and trash, tried out a dance video, and hung out with Kari. We finished watching EPIC and ate some pizza. After she left I went through some of the planners I'd found.
- Monday I was up somewhat early. Had to jump into editing letters since we had FOUR of the things due. I got two done, went to a debrief meeting, got the other two done, and went to a planning meeting. Managed to get a nap in. Did some reading and book reviewing, read over some voice-over auditions, read old journals, and sent a Polo to my sister.
- Tuesday I got up early for a meeting that ended up getting canceled. I worked on data entry most of the day. Took a nap, played DDR, did some more laundry, and did some music practice. Finished writing my short story I've had in progress and decided to title it "For the Record." Looked at more auditions and didn't find any I liked.
- Wednesday I went to get my taxes done early in the morning. I owe the government five dollars. Sweet. Then I got offered one of the voice-over roles I auditioned for recently and sent a message saying I would accept it. Went to work, attended a meeting, and updated materials. Sent a Polo to Meg. Submitted a query. Talked to my critique partner about the part of my story he's finished and got some thoughts exchanged on possible changes. Did more data entry. Edited my short story. Jeaux was late picking me up but we still had plenty of time to eat at Best NY Pizza and go shopping. Submitted another query and read old journals.
- Thursday I was glued to my seat for most of the work day sitting in meetings and preparing documents for our upcoming interview. I wrote my comic storyboard, played DDR, played games with friends, and finished editing my short story. I sent it out to a couple magazines even though it's brand new, because the last time I did that, the story got accepted the first place I sent it. Then I picked out my interview clothes and packed my bag so I wouldn't have to do it in the morning, and went to bed early.
- Friday I had to get up at 5 AM and my boss picked me up for the interview at 6. We picked up another team member and went to the Winter Haven office, which I've never seen, and we did one practice for the interview. Then we went to the DOT office in Bartow and did our interview. It went okay despite some questions we hadn't seen before. After I got home I took a nap and then did my usual reports for the office. I didn't have much time after but I got my comic drawn and barely got my steps in while reading.
Health Plan Update:
- Nutrition stuff: I got my three servings of fruits and veggies every day this week, and met my protein goals five out of seven days (weirdly, the day I ate pizza with Jeaux wasn't one of the missed days! But I only missed it by one percentage point the two days I was low, so I still think I did pretty well). I am still taking Vitamin D, Red Yeast Rice, CoQ10 Enzyme, Biotin, and a multivitamin.
- Activity stuff: I'm continuing to do DDR or aerobics every other day. I made my 10,000-step walking goal every day this week. Based on my phone's app, my low day was Thursday at 10,194 steps, and my high day was Wednesday at 18,494 steps.
